Cañas Castilla, Costa Rica (part 1)

 Cañas Castilla is one of those places where if you see it, you capture it! 

 There is so much beauty, so many wonders of the world, just in this area, that if you don't click, you are a fool. 

I, for one, do not want to be categorized as a fool 😁 

Henceforth, click and click I did.

 

The drive from La Cruz to Cañas Castilla, takes about 11 minutes according to Google.

So naturally I had to do some clicking as we drove to our destination.

And then we arrived! 

A big sign welcoming us to the property.

You are wondering what is Cañas Castilla or what does it even mean.

 Cañas Castilla is a sixty eight hectars (~ 2.5 acres) of farmland along the Sapoá River.

The Sapoa River crosses the Guanacaste National Park, lies directly at the Finca Cañas Castilla and flows after 32 kilometers into the Nicaraguan lake (Lago Cocibolca) in the department of Rivas in Nicaragua.

By the way, when I took the following photo, I was aiming for the crocodile that was laying across the river. But between my aiming and clicking, Mr. Croc went poof!🙄

So just imagine there is crocodile laying on that rock in the distance.😁

Along the river bank there are vegetations growing that would make a botanists's heaven on earth.

 

Hence, you can imagine what I did while walking the riverbank....

 Double bonus on the ones below..... Yes, Gethin there are bugs here.

The farm is located in the tropical forest climatic zone, ten degrees north of the equator. This geographical situation grants visitors the opportunity to view a unique and colorful variety of tropical vegetation.

Relative humidity rates, between 70 and 85%, together with a yearly average temperature of 23 to 35° Celsius, provide ideal conditions for numerous species of flowers: agave, bamboo, cotton, bougainvilleas, bromelias, fig trees or matapalos, cactus, orchids, palm trees, hanging plants, magnolias, as well as thousands of trees.

And if your eyes are going blurry and you think you are loosing your eyesight...no worries. It's not you nor your eyesight, it's the photographs and the photographer; just clicking away without paying attention to the settings.

Sydney Solomon calls me clicky...maybe I should officially change my name to that 😁

Way too many photos were captured on this farm, therefor I am going to stop here for now.
